Most documentation is inside formr — you can just get going and it will be waiting for you where you need it. If something just doesn't make sense or if you run into errors, please let us know. To begin creating studies using formr, you need to sign-up with your email and obtain an administrator account. An administrator account is obtained by sending a request via email to mmsupp uni-muenster. Studies in formr are created using spreadsheets.
As a good starting point, you can clone the following Google spreadsheet and study it to get versed with the definitions of the item types formr supports. You can either upload your spreadsheet if it was stored locally on your computer using the form Upload an item table or you could import a Google spreadsheet by enabling link sharing and using the form Import a Googlesheet.
When importing a Googlesheet, you will need to manually specify the name of your survey whereas if uploading a spreadsheet, the name of your survey is obtained from the filename of the spreadsheet.
Manage your survey : If your spreadsheet was well formed as described here and the items were successfully uploaded, you survey will be added to the Surveys menu. In the survey admin area you can test your study, change some survey settings, view and download results, upload and delete survey items etc.
The survey menu to the left in the survey admin area contains hints that are self explanatory. Create a Run : A formr "run" contains your study's complete design. Designs can range from the simple a single survey or a randomized experiment to the complex like a diary study with daily reminders by email and text message or a longitudinal study tracking social network changes.
